Partnership brings variety and diversity to your workplace giving choices.
Our nonprofits cover community needs ranging from health and human services,
medical research, \ cultural awareness and the
arts, services to Seniors, substance abuse programs, domestic and sexual
violence prevention, self-sufficiency and empowerment, social
advocacy, animal welfare, environmental education and creating social
change.
Payroll contribution is an easy, efficient system that works and it allows
many people to give more money to the charities they care about most because it
is spread over a year’s time. Your gift is deducted from your paycheck each
month after taxes. Paycheck contributions are tax deductible.
Your company collects all donations designated to our member agencies and then
distributes the money to PFC, typically monthly or quarterly. Partnership for
Colorado then distributes these funds to our member agencies four times per year
according to donor designation.

the Partnership. Funds received from the employer are distributed to the
appropriate federations without any contributions.
